Thought for the day.

Consider Earth as an MMO for the Gods, with our lives controlled by their fickle whim, and the day-to-day grind of life played out through us for the entertainment of these inconceivable supreme beings.

If you don’t like it then you can always go and play one of those cheap Earth clones out there, with their eternal life, peace and harmony.

We’ve always stated that Earth was going to be non-opt-out PvP with permadeath and that it was going to be aimed at the more hardcore deitybase.

And if one more person complains about travel times being too long, I swear I’ll banish them to a different pantheon. If you want instant teleportation, go and play Mars Online. Oh wait, that game died out centuries ago didn’t it? We’ve already drastically improved your ’60s mount speeds compared to those you got in the ’40s.

Now, I’ll be off for a few days as I’m going to TerraCon to promote the new Global Warming expansion, which we’re really excited about. We’ll be giving out more details about the new, previously unavailable, Arctic continent that we’re adding for play, so look out for updates from that when I get back.

Lots of complaints about the gold drop rate I imagine and how there are too many money sinks! Lowbies can hardly afford a mount, much less housing. Most people have to buy gold just to get training for their low levels, and they’re STILL paying it off 20 levels later!
